Discover the Heart of Chelse’s Greenhouse
Where Passion for Plants Meets Personalized Service IN MONROEVILLE
Our Story: The Heart of Chelse’s Greenhouse
Chelse’s Greenhouse, established in 2002 in Elizabeth Township near Butler’s Golf Course, began as a labor of love. With a focus on healthy, hardy plants and offering personalized customer service, the business quickly grew. In 2009, a second location was opened in the Murrysview Plaza, strategically located at the border of Monroeville and Murrysville, to serve the growing needs of families in the area.
The Growers Behind Our Blooming Greenhouse
Owner Nyles Falatek, a graduate of Penn State University with degrees in environmental and architectural engineering, worked for the Army Corps of Engineers for 10 years. During this time, he started a greenhouse in his mother’s backyard, where he grew plants from cuttings provided by friends and neighbors. Over the years, his hobby of growing plants turned into a thriving business, starting with geraniums planted around St. Perpetua Church.
Chelse's Greenhouse: In Honor of a Beloved Friend.
Chelse’s Greenhouse is named after Nyles' beloved black lab, Chelse. She was a constant companion, laying in front of the greenhouse door, soaking up the sun, and greeting visitors with a love for the flowers. Sadly, Chelse passed away in 2005. Today, visitors are welcomed by Lucy, a lovable Saint Berdoodle, who continues the tradition of greeting guests with warmth and affection.
